Purpose-Led Economy

Canadian Purpose Policy

The United Way Social Purpose Institute was commissioned by the federal government to conduct research into policy options to advance a purpose economy. Check out the report to learn about what governments can do to create an enabling environment for social purpose business to flourish: “Promoting Purpose in Canadian Public Policy: Options for Governments in Canada to Accelerate Social Purpose in Business”.

Business and Civil Society Leaders Call for a Purpose-Led Economy

In February and again in the summer of 2020, the Social Purpose Institute, Junxion and GLOBE teamed up to advance the Social Purpose Business Movement and draw attention to the growing opportunity to build back a better economy by investing in a purpose-led economy. 

There has been considerable interest in our effort to champion a Purpose-Led Recovery and Economy, with the three partners, above, holding a sold-out virtual workshop in August 2020 to discuss with Canadians how to advance this concept in Canada. (You can read the summary here).
